One day after an umpire clearly missed a call during in the Yankees-Tigers AL Championship Series, umpires in Game 2 of the Cardinals-Giants NL Championship Series missed a similar call.

In the eighth inning of Monday’s game, first base umpire Bill Miller failed to see that Cardinals first baseman Allen Craig's glove brushed the back of Giants baserunner Gregor Blanco's uniform as Blanco was trying to reach the bag. Blanco was sprinting back to first after St. Louis center fielder Jon Jay made a sliding catch.

St. Louis manager Mike Matheny argued the call and the umpires huddled to discuss it, but they kept the safe call. The Giants capitalized when Ryan Theriot hit a two-run single to make it 7-1.

"I'm not going to take a hard stance one way or another on the replay," Matheny said.

"That really wasn't the game today," he said. "But every once in a while there's a big play that does change the course of the game and I'm not against having something else (such as replay) to help get it right."

On Sunday, umpire Jeff Nelson admitted he missed Detroit's Omar Infante being tagged at second base by New York's Robinson Cano in the eighth inning. The correct call would have ended the inning. Detroit went on to score two runs in the inning and extend its lead to 3-0.

Nelson’s mistake led to Yankees manager Joe Girardi being ejected. After the game, Girardi lobbied for expanded use of replay in baseball.

Miller's miss on Monday had a minor impact on the outcome. If Blanco had been called out, there would have been two outs and nobody on base. Instead, the Giants had one out and one on. San Francisco collected three consecutive singles immediately after the call and extended its lead to 7-1. The Giants won the game by that score.
